Montgomery Ink Bites Cookbook by Suzanne M. Johnson, Carrie Ann Ryan

4.0

Before reading this book I really wondered about how it would work. A book of short stories that is also a cookbook? That's just weird. However, if you're at all familiar with Carrie Ann Ryan's Montgomery family books then you will know that food is almost it's own character. So, it's almost natural to formalise the partnership with this book. Each short story focuses on a couple that have already had their main book and HEA, so the short story brings them back to the reader and we get to see a small snapshot of their lives at a future point, with children and life changes. I had only read the full novel of one couple and had no problem enjoying all of the stories, even if the characters were unfamiliar. As for the recipes, they all sound wonderful and I can't wait to try some. Unfortunately, some of the ingredients seem to be very American-centric but I loved matching the style of food to the couple. Fun addition to the Montgomery universe.
